The system is four years ahead of schedule, but Weird is still a cub.

Hearing the news, even Shen Ge was shocked, not to mention Fang Mingyue, Tu Doubi and others.

Who would have thought that the biggest threat to mankind at the end of the world is not weirdness, but "their own kind". When they came out to explore the migration area, their home was robbed!
Fang Mingyue took the communicator handed over by the contact person in disbelief, checked the communication code and dedicated line password on it and found they were correct. After confirming the authenticity of the information, she was stunned on the spot.

"The captain... died?" Fang Mingyue murmured to herself, obviously still not recovering from such shocking news.

Tu Dou Pi looked at the liaison officer and asked, "The head of the city defense regiment just asked us to go back for reinforcements? He didn't specify whether we should go to Base 1 or Base 2?"

"No." The liaison shook his head.

Fang Mingyue immediately realized the problem when she heard it, and hurriedly confirmed the information on the communicator again and again. You know, the shelter has now established Base No. 2. If it is a request for help sent by the leader of the city defense regiment, then at least they should be told which base to go directly to.

There are three lines of defense between Base 1 and Base 2. Given the current road conditions in Dajing, it will take at least two or three hours to get there.

If the situation really escalated to the point where even Captain Deng was sacrificed, it would be impossible not to notice even this little detail, unless the situation was so tense that even sending a message was difficult.

But if it really has become difficult to even send messages, how could we emphasize the sacrifice of Deng Yuqi and the disappearance of Liu Jiayi?
It just so happened that these two were the commanders of the exploration team, and the exploration team sent this time to search and rescue Tu Dou Pi and others was precisely the one headed by Fang Mingyue.

After thinking about it carefully, Fang Mingyue suddenly realized that there was a big problem here.

Shen Ge glanced at the communicator and said in a deep voice, "The situation of Captain Deng and the others is still to be verified. We cannot be sure whether the user of this secret channel is one of our own. But what is certain now is that something must have gone wrong at the base, otherwise the 'outsider' would not be able to access the dedicated line."

After a pause, Shen Ge thought for a moment and then said, "In that case, let's send a message to test their strength... ask for some information that only the exploration team knows. Then prepare to set off. Regardless of whether there is accurate information from the base or not, we must rush back as soon as possible."

"Yes!" Fang Mingyue immediately understood what Shen Ge meant. She picked up the communicator and began to ask the other party how they could provide support, as well as some secret codes that only the exploration team knew.

After the message was sent, everyone was divided into two teams. Shen Ge and Fang Mingyue led the team to leave first, while Tu Dou Bi stayed to take care of the injured Cai Hua and others.

Shen Ge instructed that if they encountered danger, they should retreat into the "mountains" according to the route he gave, and then set up camp near the cave and wait. As long as they did not enter the cave, they would not trigger the strange space and would not fall into danger.

Tu Doubi and others naturally believed Shen Ge's words. After they left, they began to return to the foot of the "mountain".

Originally, Shen Ge took them down the mountain intending to let them camp near the rest area. He also took into consideration that the "mountain" had just completed its integration not long ago and there might still be some unstable factors. But now that he and Fang Mingyue are gone, only Tu Dou Bi, who has limited combat power, is left. In comparison, it is safer on the "mountain".

On the way back to Dajing, Shen Ge and his team received another message from the headquarters through the communicator. Fang Mingyue read it and quickly reported to Shen Ge: "Shen Ge, the shelter has sent us a message. They asked us to support Base No. 1, saying that the main force is trapped there."

"Trapped in Base No. 1?" Shen Ge frowned when he heard this. Before they set out to the "mountains" to search and rescue Tu Doubi's team, a riot broke out in Base No. 1. Liu Jiayi, as the leader of the exploration team, personally led the team there to suppress the riot.

But on the way to the "mountain", Fang Mingyue had an information exchange with Deng Yuqi, and the reply she received was that Liu Jiayi had successfully suppressed the riot at Base No. 1, and the resource problem was temporarily solved after transporting part of the resources provided by Shen Ge.

When entering the "mountains", the last news received from Deng Yuqi was that Base No. 2 was ready for migration. Even if Fang Mingyue did not give an accurate response, the migrating troops would march north to another backup migration point.

Although resources are scarce there, fortunately there is a military base for the migrating team to rest. If the "mountains" are not suitable for migration, a new shelter will be built on the military base.

In other words, the migration team led by Deng Yuqi had already set off, and there was no possibility of "death in action" unless they were attacked by a monster organization on the way.

Combined with the information previously conveyed by the command center, Deng Yuqi died while supporting Base No. 1, and the authenticity of Liu Jiayi's disappearance is questionable.

Fang Mingyue also realized this. She took out the map and pointed to the junction of Line 1 and Line 2 and said, "This is the guard team of Base 1. If there is a problem with the base, the New Parliament and civilians will retreat to the guard team's underground arsenal. There is a secret passage leading to the base. We can go back from here and enter the base to investigate."

Shen Ge thought for a moment and shook his head, "We are not going to Base No. 1. Do you have a map of Deng Yuqi's migration route?"

"Captain Deng's route map?" Fang Mingyue shook her head, but then looked at the map and pointed to a route to the north.

"Although I don't know the specific route, I have seen the distribution map of several alternative points at the previous migration meeting. I remember that Captain Deng mentioned that if the 'big mountain' is the first choice, then this military base in the north is the best alternative."

"We will be the advance team to explore the way, and they will lead some people to the military base to wait after completing the migration preparations."

"But the dedicated channel of our communicator is for contacting Captain Deng... No, if there is something wrong with Captain Deng, it is possible that the signal has been hijacked."

Shen Ge nodded: "That's right. Although we don't know why the other party wants to lead us to Base No. 1, going there directly is definitely not the best option... Let's follow Captain Deng's migration route and go back to Base No. 2 from the north. At the same time, you try to contact the base's channel."

Fang Mingyue nodded when she heard this. In fact, she tried to contact the base many times along the way, but the only channel that responded was Deng Yuqi's.

After deciding on the route, Shen Ge and his companions set off towards the military base in the north. After walking for half a day, they decided to abandon the car and walk through the village into the military zone.

"Shen Ge, something seems to be wrong in the village. I remember when I used drones to investigate before, there were no sentry towers in these places."

"And you see, we have built fortifications on the periphery, and have also used anti-trickster methods to deploy some high-level weird skins and flesh to block low-level parasites."

"This type of shelter has long been out of use. If it was Captain Deng's migrating troop, they would have brought along the new anti-spook equipment developed by the research institute, but there isn't a single one here."

"There are people here, but they definitely can't be Captain Deng's team."

As he spoke, Fang Mingyue made a few gestures to the team members, who immediately understood and dispersed, sneaking into the vicinity of the village to conduct reconnaissance.

Shen Ge observed the village through the strange eyes for a few minutes and found that there was something wrong in the village. There was a strong strange energy atmosphere in the center of the village. There should be weirdos or high-level monsters hiding there.

"I'll go to the village and take a look." Shen Ge said.

Fang Mingyue immediately followed and said, "I've seen the map of the village. I'll go with you." Shen Ge thought about it and nodded, "Okay."

The two men sneaked along the abandoned buildings to a convenience store two hundred meters away from the village. The things here had already been moved out, leaving only the moldy and smelly house and shelves.

At this time, a reconnaissance team member followed the mark left by Fang Mingyue and reported to the two in a low voice: "Captain Shen, Captain Fang, there are armed men in the village. They are fully equipped, but they don't look like people from the shelter. But beyond the village is the military zone. Could there be troops stationed in this military zone?"

Fang Mingyue shook her head and said, "During the previous drone reconnaissance, it was confirmed that there were no troops in the military zone. The shelter also tried to contact them, but received no response. Logically speaking, the facilities and buildings in the military zone are much better than this small village. Even if there are troops, they would not give up the military zone and choose here."

Shen Ge asked curiously, "When you used the drone to conduct reconnaissance, didn't you also investigate this village?"

Fang Mingyue shook her head. "The village is in the other direction of the base, which means we will pass by here when we come back from Sanshen City. The base will not send out drones for reconnaissance along this route. In addition, the control distance is not enough. Due to the strange energy black fog, the signal often has problems."

Shen Ge knew that what affected the signal was not the strange energy black fog, but the strange space that appeared with the weirdness. To be precise, it was the kind that was related to the weirdness of the ancestor, that is, the target tampered by the monster organization.

In other words, if the drone sent by the base loses contact as soon as it approaches the village, then there is a high probability that some strange or weird people are lurking here.

"Let's go in and take a look?" Shen Ge said.

Fang Mingyue looked at the team member and said, "You stay here to support the others. If you see the signal flare, attack. Before I fire the signal flare, no matter what you hear, stay where you are and consider retreating first if you encounter danger."

Fang Mingyue's words were actually an absolute recognition of Shen Ge's strength. In her opinion, she would never encounter any danger as long as she was with Shen Ge. Even if she encountered danger, the power of these warriors would not be able to change the situation.

So except for some special situations that require their response, all they have to do is stand by, or in other words, save their lives.

Shen Ge and Fang Mingyue approached the watchtower near the village and indeed saw the "armed men" that the reconnaissance soldiers had mentioned. They were well-equipped and well-trained, and were patrolling around the outskirts of the village.

Judging from the strange energy detection equipment they used, their main defense should be against strange things, so Shen Ge and Fang Mingyue, two living people, easily climbed over the watchtower and entered the village.

Fang Mingyue had seen the map of the place and was familiar with the layout of the village. After listening to Shen Ge's description, she immediately realized that the location he was referring to was the location of the village police station.

The two men went over to take a look, but found that there was no patrol team stationed here, but there were several layers of cordon lines and even trenches dug, as if to defend against things in the police station.

As soon as we entered the main building of the police station, several armed men guarding the monitoring room heard the noise at the door and immediately raised their guns and stood guard.

"Who are you..." The armed man hadn't finished his words when he saw a flash before his eyes. Fang Mingyue rushed into the crowd and knocked them down in a few moves.

"Uh."

I don't plan on stealing the kill, why are you so aggressive?

Shen Ge was speechless for a while. Fang Mingyue gave him the feeling that she was afraid that he would be too slow and would not be able to catch a single person.

But it can be seen that Fang Mingyue was really happy because she was finally useful.

After dealing with these guards, Fang Mingyue looked around and found that only a few surveillance devices were still working, but they were monitoring the interior of the building, basements, warehouses and other places.

"Strange, there is no patrol team outside, only a few people arranged to watch the surveillance inside, and they are watching the situation inside the building. Why does it feel like they are guarding this place?" Fang Mingyue asked puzzledly.

"We'll know if we go down and take a look." Shen Ge had actually already seen the strange black mist drifting out from the direction of the stairwell.

After the two went down to the underground warehouse under surveillance, they looked around and finally saw Shen Ge squatting in the corner, raising his hand and looking at the floor.

"There is air flowing in the cracks in the ground. There should be a secret passage underneath." Shen Ge did not say that the "air flow" he referred to was the flowing black fog of strange energy. After all, ordinary people could not see this thing. He would have to spend time explaining it to Fang Mingyue, or make up a few excuses.

It seems that building secret bases underground has become a common practice of the monster organization. Shen Ge also found the mechanism to open the secret passage with his experience.

With a rumbling sound, the floor moved to both sides, revealing a dark passage leading downwards.

The two of them had faintly smelled a pungent stench of decay before, and after the tunnel door was opened, the smell suddenly became clear.

"Let's go down and take a look." Shen Ge took out the strange flashlight and shone it inside, then took the lead and walked down the stairs.

Five minutes later, the two arrived at the bottom floor.

The underground space is quite spacious. Judging from the peeling paint on the walls and the age of the equipment placed around it, it has been abandoned for at least a dozen years.

Going further, there are several closed bulletproof glass observation rooms, the floor of which is filled with basketball-sized "meat jars".

Shen Ge had seen this kind of parasitic weirdness in the stomach of a high-level fusion monster, and he still remembered the spectacular sight of the entire hall being filled with jars of meat.

"Shen Ge, the glass of several observation rooms over there is broken. If the people imprisoned inside are weird, they may have... escaped." After seeing the observation rooms on the right with several shattered glass doors, Fang Mingyue instantly understood what the armed men upstairs were guarding against.

But what surprised her was that there didn't seem to be any high-level monsters here. Given the size of the "meat jar", there was no reason to go through so much trouble to defend it.

"Shh." Shen Ge made a gesture to keep quiet.

Fang Mingyue listened carefully and faintly heard a "gurgling" swallowing sound coming from the ventilation duct on the ceiling. (End of this chapter)
